This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: rtl8723bs: Fix access-point mode deadlock
to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also be merged in Linus's tree for the next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.
From 8f4347081be32e67b0873827e0138ab0fdaaf450 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans de Goede hdegoede@redhat.com Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2022 11:16:36 +0100 Subject: staging: rtl8723bs: Fix access-point mode deadlock
Commit 54659ca026e5 ("staging: rtl8723bs: remove possible deadlock when disconnect (v2)") split the locking of pxmitpriv->lock vs sleep_q/lock into 2 locks in attempt to fix a lockdep reported issue with the locking order of the sta_hash_lock vs pxmitpriv->lock.
But in the end this turned out to not fully solve the sta_hash_lock issue so commit a7ac783c338b ("staging: rtl8723bs: remove a second possible deadlock") was added to fix this in another way.
The original fix was kept as it was still seen as a good thing to have, but now it turns out that it creates a deadlock in access-point mode:

Analysis shows that in hindsight the splitting of the lock was not a good idea, so revert this to fix the access-point mode deadlock.
Note this is a straight-forward revert done with git revert, the commented out "/* spin_lock_bh(&psta_bmc->sleep_q.lock); */" lines were part of the code before the reverted changes.
